Priorities for our District

Rebuilding Communities

Improving our local economies will require that we rebuild our communities from the ground up. We must prioritize infrastructure that will support anticipated changes in technology, energy, and climate. We must protect our residents' careers by proactively retraining workers, retrofitting manufacturers, and protecting our unions at the federal level. We can improve the health of our workers and unlock the potential of entrepreneurs if we move toward a more efficient model of health care. We must demand nothing less than Medicare For All. We must ensure that our farmers have all that they need to expand their markets both locally and internationally. We must provide our youth with the vocational training required for these demands and we must protect our public schools, because all students deserve the opportunity to build our future. We must end the partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts and the resulting divisiveness in our communities.
